[cf. f. transcription, l. transcriptio a transfer.]1. the act or process of transcribing, or copying; as, corruptions creep into books by repeated transcriptions.2. a copy; a transcript.3. (mus.) an arrangement of a composition for some other instrument or voice than that for which it was originally written, as the translating of a song, a vocal or instrumental quartet, or even an orchestral work, into a piece for the piano; an adaptation; an arrangement; -- a name applied by modern composers for the piano to a more or less fanciful and ornate reproduction on their own instrument of a song or other piece not originally intended for it; as, liszt's transcriptions of songs by schubert.transcription n1. something written, especially copied from one medium to another, as a typewritten version of dictation [syn: written text ]

2. (genetics) the organic process whereby the dna sequence in a gene is copied into mrna; the process whereby a base sequence of messenger rna is synthesized on a template of complementary dna3. a recording (e.g., from broadcast to tape recording)4. the act of making a record (especially an audio record); "she watched the recording from a sound-proof booth" [syn: recording]

Noun1. something written, especially copied from one medium to another, as a typewritten version of dictation (synonym) written text (hypernym) written communication, written language (hyponym) transliteration (derivation) transcribe2. (genetics) the organic process whereby the DNA sequence in a gene is copied into mRNA; the process whereby a base sequence of messenger RNA is synthesized on a template of complementary DNA (hypernym) organic process, biological process (derivation) transcribe (classification) genetics, genetic science3. a sound or television recording (e.g., from a broadcast to a tape recording) (hypernym) recording4. the act of arranging and adapting a piece of music (synonym) arrangement, arranging (hypernym) composing, composition (hyponym) rearrangement5. the act of making a record (especially an audio record); "she watched the recording from a sound-proof booth" (synonym) recording (hypernym) creating from raw materials (hyponym) lip synchronization, lip synchronisation, lip synch, lip sync (class) tape record

The process of copying information from DNA into new strands of messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA then carries this information to the cytoplasm, where it serves as the blueprint for the manufacture of a specific protein.

The process of constructing a messenger RNA&lt!-- (see) --&gt molecule, using a DNA molecule as a template&lt!-- (see) --&gt, with the resulting transfer of genetic information to the messenger RNA. As related to HIV: The process by which the provirus produces new viruses. RNA&lt!-- (see) --&gt copies, called messenger RNA, must be made that can be read by the host cell's protein-making machinery. Cellular enzymes, including RNA polymerase II, facilitate transcription. The viral genes may partly control this process. For example, tat&lt!-- (see) --&gt encodes a protein that accelerates the transcription process by binding to a section of the newly made viral RNA. See Integration; Ribonucleic Acid.

(n.)
The act or process of transcribing, or copying; as, corruptions creep into books by repeated transcriptions. (n.)
An arrangement of a composition for some other instrument or voice than that for which it was originally written, as the translating of a song, a vocal or instrumental quartet, or even an orchestral work, into a piece for the piano; an adaptation; an arrangement; -- a name applied by modern composers for the piano to a more or less fanciful and ornate reproduction on their own instrument of a song or other piece not originally intended for it; as, Liszt's transcriptions of songs by Schubert. (n.)
A copy; a transcript.

As the first step in protein synthesis, transfer of genetic information from the DNA template to RNA molecule mediated by RNA polymerase (followed by translation). A transcription unit is a segment of DNA between the sites of initiation and termination of transcription. It may contain more than one gene.

Def: Representación de un texto según un alfabeto distinto para indicar la pronunciación. Ex: The previous ALA rules were based on a principle of faithful transcription of the title page with elaborate qualifications, which yielded as a result an entry repetitious and confusing in its esoteric capitalization. (n.) = transcripción, interpretación.

Def: Pieza musical que resulta de arreglar para un instrumento la música escrita para otro. Ex: A musical adaptation is a musical work that represents a distinct alteration of another work (e.g. a free transcription), a work that paraphrases parts of various works or the general style of another composer, or a work that is merely based on other music (e.g. variations on a them).
